That was a great move. I initially thought he just pulled a Belichick there, but it was much slicker. I'm going to try that this week, when somebody goes for a handshake, I'll give that curt nod and point to someone next to me and give the "No, you're shaking that hand" signal instead. This is a handshake gamechanger.
What does he say after that? He says something, and Obama nods, acknowledging that the handshake isn't coming. 'I just sneezed'? 'I've lost all feeling in that hand'?
Watching it again, I think what he actually does is pull that move where you tap somebody's shoulder from behind on the opposite side, and when they turn to look, you go all "Nope, wasn't me!" Classic. I would have turned my approval dial through the roof on that one. I hope he does the one where you walk up behind somebody and hit your knees into the backs of their knees so they almost fall at the last debate.
Has anybody found any photos with the guy who looks like Jackie Martling with a moustache over Obama's shoulder yet?
